What you need

•

Straight-edge and Phillips screwdrivers

•

Drive mounting screws

•

A SCSI interface host adapter

•

A 50-pin SCSI interface cable

•

An unused drive power cable for your new drive

•

A DOS or Windows 95 sy st em se tup dis kette (Seagate recom ­mends using DOS Version 5.0 or later).

•

If you are mounting this 3.5-inch drive in a 5.25-inch drive bay,
you need a mounting adapter or frame kit. Also, you may need
drive mounti ng rail s if your dr ive bay is not de signe d for direct
mounting.

Before you begin

•

Make sure your computer is turned off before you open the
case.

•

Read the handling precautions following and inspect the drive
to make sure that it is not damaged.

•

Save your foam-lined Seagate disc drive box. This box has
been approved by Seagate for shipping a Seagate disc drive.
Using any other container or packing material voids your drive
warranty.

2 Medalist Pro 2160N, Rev. B

Handling precautions

Disc drives are extremely fragile. Do not drop or jar
your drive.

Keep the drive in its antistatic bag until you are
ready to install it.

Protect your dr ive from static dischar ge by making
sure you are well grounded before touching the
drive. We recommend wearing a grounded wrist
strap throughout the installation process. Do not
touch the connectors or any part of the printed cir­cuit board.

Always handle the drive by its edges or frame.

Do not apply pressure or attach labels to the circuit
board or the top of the drive.

Medalist Pro 2160N, Rev. B 3

SCSI ID jumpers and drive termination

Setting the SCSI ID

Your SCSI drive is configured at the factory as SCSI ID 0 (no
jumpers installed). If you a re ins t al li ng onl y one drive or i f th is w il l
be your boot drive, the drive should be configured as SCSI ID 0.

Each device on the SCSI chain must have a unique SCSI ID. If
you are install i ng a se co n d ha r d drive, choose the next available
ID. SCSI ID 7 is usually reserved for the SCSI host adapter.

Figure 1 on page 4 shows the jumper settings for SCSI IDs 0
through 7.

Chains of SCSI device s must be termi nated at each en d of the
cable.

The figure above shows two internal hard drives with the termi­nation enabled for the SCSI host adapter and the last device on
the cable.

If your new drive is the las t device on the SCSI cable, you must
enable termination. Active termination is enab le d when there ar e
no jumpers on pins 11 and 12 of the options jumper block. This
is the default setting.

If your drive is not the last device on the SCSI cable, SCSI termi­nation must be disabled by placing a jumper on pins 11 and 12.

Figure 3. Termination for internal and external SCSI devices

This figure shows a SCSI chain with two internal SCSI devices
and two external SCSI devices. The SCSI devices at the ends of
each cable are terminated.

Note. Some SCSI host adapters should remain terminated

even if they are in the middl e of the chain. Also, some
adapters treat the internal and external chains as sepa­rate logical buses. This means you may need to termi­nate both the first and last devices on both logical buses
to achieve proper termination. Refer to your computer or
host adapter documentation to see how this is handled in
your system.

Medalist Pro 2160N, Rev. B 7

Attaching cables and mounting the drive

1. If you are installing a new SCSI interface cable, attach one

end of the cable to the interface connector on your computer
or host adap ter.

2. Thread the interface cable through the drive bay and attach
the connector at the end of the interface cable to your new
drive.

Note. If you ha ve two driv es, attach the s eco nd drive to the se c-

Partitioning and formatting your drive

To prepare your drive for use with any of these operating sys­tems, you must partition and format your drive. Use your system
setup diskette to automatically take you through the formatting
process.

!

Low-level format

This drive is low-level formatted at the factory to 512 bytes per
sector. You do not need to low-level format. If necessary, SCSI
host adapters have diagnostic capability for low-level formatting.
Refer to your host adapter manual for diagnostic instructions.

DOS, Windows 95, Windows NT and OS/2

Drive partitioning

Partitioni ng a hard dr ive divides i t into section s (part itions) tha t

drive space i s ta ken up in i nco mple te s ector s. For thi s re ason, if
most of your files are smaller than 50 Kbytes, you should use
partitions of 1 Gbyte or less. To partition your new drive:

1. Inser t a bootable DOS diskette i nto your diskette dri ve and

2. Insert a DOS program diskette that has the FDISK.EXE and

Troubleshooting

If you have installed your drive and it does not function properly,
perform the following basic checks:

Warning. Alw ays turn off the computer bef ore changing
jumpers or unplugging cables and cards. Wear a
ground strap or use other antistatic precautions while
working on your computer or handling your drive.

•

Verify com patibilit y. Verify that the hos t adapte r and dri v e are

appropriately matched to each other and to your computer.
Refer to the relevant documentation for details.

•

Check all cards. Verify that all cards are seated in their slots

on the motherboard and are secured with mounting screws.

•

Check all connectors and cables. Make sure all ribbon and

power cables are securely connected. Ribbon cables are eas­ily damaged, especially at the connector. Try a new cable that
you know is good. Make sure no connector pins are bent. Ver­ify that pin 1 on the interface cable is aligned with pin 1 on the
drive and host adapter (see Figure 6 on page 10).

•

Verify jumper settings. Review the instructions in this guide

and in your host adapter installation guide. Make sure all
appropriate jumpers are installed or removed as nec essary.

•

Check the SCSI ID. Make sure the dri ve’s SCSI ID does not

conflict with that of another SCSI device.

•

Check the terminator config uratio n. If the drive is at the end

of the cable, th e drive’s terminator must be enabled. Dis able

Additional troubleshooting

If you have performed the preceding basic checks but the prob­lem persists, follow these guidelines for troubleshooting specific
cases:

The screen remains blank when you power up the system.

•

Make sure the monitor is plugged in and turned on.

•

Check all cards and host adapters.

•

Make sure the vid eo card is seat ed in its sl ot an d secured with
mounting screws.

•

Turn off the computer and remove the SCSI host adapter. If
the screen turns on after you reboot, the host adapter may be
incompatible or defective. If so, see your dealer.

The system does not recognize the drive.

•

Check all cables.

•

Make sure the power supply is adequate for system needs.

•

Reboot the computer and listen to make sure the drive motor
starts up. If the drive is very quiet, it may be difficult to hear its
discs reach operating speed. If the drive motor does not start
up, recheck all drive cables.

•

Verify that no SCSI drives are listed in the system setup pro­gram.

•

Try rebooting your computer by pressing the

keys sim ultane ously. If the drive is recogniz ed a fter y ou

One solution is to slow the processo r spee d duri ng star tu p. If
your computer has a turbo switch, set it to slow speed before
turning the computer on. If there is no turbo switch, you may
be able to use keyboard commands; see your computer man­ual for details. After the computer is up and running, return the
processor to the fast speed.

Another solution is to warm-boot your computer after every
power-on.

Check for I/O address conflicts. To isolate the conflict, verify

•

that the drive and host adapter are compatible with your com­puter. Turn off the computer and remove all the peripheral
adapter cards except for the video card and host adapter. If
the computer recognizes the drive when you reboot the com­puter, turn off the computer. Reinstall the other peripheral
cards, one at a time, until the conflict reoccurs. After you have
isolated the source of the address conflic t, you can resolve the
conflict by changing the I/O address of the peripheral that
appears to c ause the conflict.

(ANSI).

Ultra SCSI: Doubles the bandwidth of Fast SCSI. It provides 8­bit (SCSI nar row ) da t a ra t es of 2 0 Mbyt es pe r se cond an d 16 - bit
SCSI wide data rates of 40 Mbytes per second.

SCSI address: The representation of the SCSI address, refer­ring to one of the signal lines DB (7-0).

Motor start: Enables the drive to wait for a Start/Stop Unit com­mand from the host before starting or stopping the spindle motor.

Parity: A computer error-checking procedure in which the num­ber of 1s must always be the same (even or odd) for each group
of bits transmitted without error.

Termination: A method of matching the transmission imped­ance of an electrical bus to eliminate signal reflections from the
end of the cable.

Synchronous data: Data sent without a clock pulse (usually in
serial mode).

Asynchronous data: Data sent without a clock pulse (usually in
parallel mode). Time intervals between transmitted bits may be
of unequal length.

Gigabyte: 1,000,000,000 bytes.
